National Occupational Standards (NOS) for Learning, Development and Support Services (LDSS)

The full review of the Learning, Development and Support Services NOS is now completed and has been submitted to the United Kingdom Commission for Employment and Skills (UKCES) for formal approval.

In England the revised NOS will not be incorporated into the current NVQs, but will, however, provide a base for new qualifications developed for the Qualification and Credit Framework (QCF), and contribute to the wider use of NOS for workforce planning/management.

CWDC would like to thank all colleagues who were involved in the development of the reviewed NOS and specifically the children and young people at the following services:

• Biggleswade Youth Centre
• Connexions, Durham
